Author: Charles Hayes:

* Summary: Systems analysts are responsible

for designing computer information systems,

modifying systems to improve production or

work flow, or expanding systems to serve new

purposes. The information they deal with

relates to all aspects of an employer's

operations planning, monitoring, testing,

accounting, forecasting, coordination,

scheduling, etc. They must understand the

capabilities of a firm's equipment and

software, and may be asked to provide

recommendations about selection of new

equipment or software packages. They

may be responsible for a firm's entire

system or part of it, or work from

project to project. They also may

analyze systems for their employer or

for client firms.
